At the heart of PIL lies the Bulk Palm Oil operations. This operation can be divided into three major areas namely sourcing, refining, trading Logistics (separately covered under Shipping and Logistics) PIL BPO operation enjoys a key differentiation among the large global destination players in its ability to procure and deliver market specific cargos according to the demands of each market.

Sourcing

The sourcing operation can be divided in two parts involving sourcing of CPO for refineries and and for trading and sourcing of Palm oil derivatives. All three associated refineries operate in close coordination with the central trading team in the sourcing operations. Each of the three refineries operate on their own in ensuring procurement and supply of CPO for their operations. PIL does its own sourcing of CPO and refined products either from its own refineries and/or from reputable 3rd parties to satisfy the demand. All buying complies with the stringent PORAM guidelines and sepcifications

PIL enjoys the unique advantage of having own associated refineries who refine the CPO according to the specific needs of PIL’s clients and markets. These refineries not only employ state-of-the-art green technologies but also ancillary facilities like modern storage tanks, jetties, pipelines etc. In a continuous procurement and shipment mode, systematic hedging of cargo is at the heart of the sourcing and procurement operations. Continuous tracking of edible oils prices across the globe as also the demand forecast in each market allows PIL to hedge the risk in the procurement of CPO and refined products. The well experienced trading team monitors the prices and trends in the market through live data terminals and continuously adjust the hedging position. All these activities one governed by robust risk management policies which includes active independent monitoring of positions.

Refining

PIL group has invested upon three state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Indonesia and Malaysia to address the wide variety of demands of its clients. The combined refining capacity of the three plants (PacOil, Indopalma and Palmindo) stands at 7500 MT / day which translates into more than 2.25 million MT per annum. All the refineries are fully certified in all required quality standards including RSPO. They can produce RSPO certified refined oil by refining RSPO certified crude palm oil.

PIL group not only has one of the best refineries in Origin, they also have their own oil terminals servicing their vessels. The manufacturing facilities are strategically located near ocean ports as also very close to the palm plantations thus ensuring regular supply of CPO throughout the tear.

PIL also has its own dedicated jetty at Dumai port. Large vessels of 50000 DWT can berth in these facilities and cargo unloading and loading can be undertaken at the fastest time span ensuring quick turn-around time.
